Which Windows operating system?.....Since you've "turned off" all advanced power management options from the power options in the control panel including hibernate and sys standby your computer should just keep right on running until your screen saver kicks in. Your problem might be with the screen saver freezing in lieu of a power down stand by or hibernate mode. Is the option for turning off hard drives and monitors in power options configured for always on?....

Is your screen saver causing the problem?

go to the control panel and select power management. select always on under power schemes.Under stand by select never. Under turn off monitor select never. under turn off hard disk select never then select apply. This should do the trick........
